The staff is always helpful and sweet. It’s a healthy option and it’s fresh
First time here and I was impressed!
Great food as always. We (2 adults and 7 + 10 years old) always order waba chicken teriyaki. We tried to order with brown rice but sometimes the brown rice are on the harder side (not consistent) so we always order with white rice. One of the best chicken teriyaki from chains restaurant just make sure put green onions and extra waba teriyaki to add the yumminess
This place has excellent food! I just love eating their food. Even though we always take the food to eat, it is very clean and would stay there to eat anytime. Recommended!
Best under the radar, healthy fast food restaurant on the planet. Love the salmon!!! Add lemons, ummm!!
Excellent service. The best. Thank you! There are tables outside wich is kinda rare for WaBa locations.
Delicious and a great place! I love getting the steak bowl with extra sauce!
Great healthy food. Friendly staff. Open until 10:30 pm.
Girl Employee handled right now! Thank you for the fast, efficient and friendly service! #86 my food came out perfect! This is the first time that I've had my food so exact order with perfection! As a former manager, that's the kind of person that I would give a raise to and move them up in the company! I am enjoying my dinner right now. Thank you so much Young lady! Best service ever!
Excellent customer service by a young lady on a recent Friday night. Very good prices for the quality and amount of food. Fast but fairly healthy and yummy.

I really like ordering the mini chicken bowl, it comes with white or brown rice and you can get veggies also. I don't eat much so it is perfect amount for me.
I feel that this place is comparable to Flame Broiler, though a tad bit more expensive. I personally purchased the chicken, rice, and veggie bowl for $7.68, and my thoughts are as follows: the chicken was well cooked though it had a slight fish aftertaste, the veggies a bit overcooked and somewhat lacking in overall quality, and the rice perfectly cooked. I would definitely say this is a healthy meal compared to most other lunch alternatives, although the veggies leave room for improvement. I may likely eat here again in the future.

Menu is not that descriptive. Food is delicious.

The cooks play their music so loud is annoying when your trying to enjoy your lunch and the music is the kitchen is blasting.
Kinda like Flame Broiler but a bit more expensive. Wasn't good enough to go back or even take home my left overs. Staff was friendly.
End of lunch time rush and the was nobody at the front to take an order for like 5 mins until someone else noticed and went back to alert them. Also, the paper towel dispenser was almost empty despite being on order 160 for the day. Seemed on the verge of not being clean and clearly didn't have employees who took pride in their work so not sure I'd go back to this location. Otherwise the food was ok.
I went here for the convenience and I’ve been here before. It’s close to home and options are limited. Generally I would drive the extra mile to get Panda or something else when I want some fast food, All that being said, WaBa puts out a consistent product and it’s pretty good... I had the WaBa plate on this visit and enjoyed it.

Food is good and service is good , 2 stars because the chicken portion was way too small. They should call this place “rice bowl” because they give you a rice bowl with pieces of chicken
